Durufle / Mottoul - Complete Organ Works - Music CD

The young Belgian organist Stephane Mottoul has already received several awards not only as an outstanding performer but also as a remarkable organ improviser. On AEOLUS he presents the complete organ works of Maurice Durufle (1902-1986). He plays on the excellent Thomas organ of St. Laurentius Church in Diekirch (Luxembourg), built in 2016. Stephane Mottoul was born in 1990 in Belgium and began his higher organ studies in Namur, at the Higher Institute of Music and Pedagogy, in the class of Benot Mernier. Eager to enrich his musical background, he went to Paris to discover the art of improvisation with Pierre Pincemaille, at the Conservatoire de Saint-Maur les Fosss and at the Conservatoire de Reims with Pierre Ma. He continued his training in Germany, and was also accepted to the National Conservatory of Music and Dance of Paris both in organ and improvisation as well as advanced composition.
